Hi

I'm reviewing the way client authentication is expected to be done when either SAML or JWT bearer assertion is used as a grant [1] which corresponds to the case described in [2].

[1] says: "Authentication of the client is optional...".

Can someone please clarify how it can be optional given that in this case a subject of the assertion does not identify a client ? Is it about supporting unregistered clients which have managed to obtain somehow the assertion grants ?

Thanks, Sergey
